Like it or not this country has a long history of racism, which includes the use of cartoon imagery. You can buy badges of the old logo for marmalade on racist websites.

A picture of shaggy and a lanky dopey white guy is not the same. Maybe if we had been a black country selling whites as slaves and saying they were animals, stupid and dopey then it might be equivalent but it isn't.

If he sent it to Mendy and Mendy is fine with it that's between them. Bernard apologised, Mendy supports him, there was no intent. But it was public and the FA can not be seen to ignore it.
But it wasnt sent to Mendy. It was posted on social media so its in the public domain.

Unfortunately it doesnt matter that Mendy wasnt offended as there is a long line of right-thinking people who are offended on his behalf whether he wants them to be or not.

As i said earlier, the players need to stay off social media.
 
Pretend I'm Bernardo, and I've been sent for re-education. Can you explain, explicitly and, in lay-man's terms, what was wrong with likening Benji to the cartoon character.

Your personal opinion wont be tolerated it's outdated needs to be replaced. There are other ideologies that send people for reprogramming and it looks like this 'Education' is going a bit too close to that line to be comfortable.

Virtually every country in the world has history of racism , what the fuck has that got to do with a joke between friends , Mendy wasn’t offended , it has nothing to do with the fa , this is driven by proper racists ..The English media .
 
Clearly it is by many (btw not me) so dont fucking call me sensitive. What I am saying is that all that has to happen is Bernado is told what is and isnt acceptable over here and that way we can move on
Who the fuck is in a position to say what is and isn’t acceptable? Snowflakes, bent Officials, over sensitive types or actual racists? Bernie is not a racist, I’m not and I don’t think you are. Who can honestly say judge and jury are correct, it’s a matter of opinion. The fact that Bernie has black mates should surely add weight to the fact he’s not a racist and doesn’t have have any truck with that shit, it’s fucking preposterous.
 
Who is "him"? And totally agree on the word coloured, haven't used that term since I first moved to Canada in 1978 and was set straight by a classmate.
Canada, probably the most tolerant country in the world, a melting pot of nationalities (196 I think) that get along fine. The friendliest big City I’ve ever been to, Toronto.

What a pile of nonsense.

Slavery ended in 1865 and the last episode of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum was 39 years ago. I was in GB Antiques in Lancaster this afternoon and could’ve purchased one of three Robertson’s dolls if I wanted. I doubt their gonna get raided any day soon.

I’m a second generation Irish immigrant (essentially), we have all seen the pictures of the old signs outside of boarding houses saying ‘no blacks, Irish or dogs’. Watching this faux outrage for something that isn’t racist, against a player from Manchester City who are a pariah club due to racism for its Muslim owners is fucking hilarious.

If your idea of atonement for misdeeds a few centuries back is punishing someone innocent and foreign, you should definitely be in public office.
